Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personally identifiable information (such as your name, address, email address, or telephone number).

These so called analytics programs also tell us if, on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to put more money into developing our services for you instead of marketing spend.

Affiliate Cookies:
